About This Item
Crown Publishers, 1975. Softcover. Good. 11x8x0. This volume contains 120 of the most famous Indians in American history. They are the same portraits published in The McKenney-Hall Portrait Gallery of American Indians, first published in 1836. Here reproduced in a low priced edition. As early as 1824, the practice was begun of taking portraits of the principal Indians who came to Washington, and depositing them in the War Department. They were chiefly painted by Mr. King, an artist of high repute, who has been remarkably successful in transferring to his canvas the strong lineaments of the Indian countenance. Col. McKinney, who was for many years superintendent of Indian affairs at Washington, and was thus brought into constant association with the principal men of the nations and tribes which sent representatives to the seat of government.
